Previously posted November 2009, but busy with de-cluttering so it's time to post again!

Mookie Betts

Cheering on Mookie Betts,
Deserving all he gets!
Bringing his hitting threats,
Then he turns on the jets!
Watch for records he sets,
Without any regrets!


Nashville-area native drafted by the Red Sox. Have seen him play with Lowell, Pawtucket and Boston. Knowing he'll be back with Boston again soon wearing #50.

Lilacs

At 19th and Blair,
I found it there -
That lilac bush.
And boy did I mush
My face in that bush
To breathe in the scent
With all that it's meant.
Don't care if they stare
At 19th and Blair!



Written yesterday after Writes of Spring workshop at Art and Soul in Nashville.
